I now need to investigate and see if this is a 'new' static IP or if its a dynamic one. I will, in the next hour or so, have set telnet://play.avatardev.co.uk to point to this address.

I've been on the phone to BT.

This seemingly is the new IP address. It was changed because of the regrade I had done. What I will do now is change the DNS entries to point to the new address and change them all to use telnet://play.avatardev.co.uk as the main link. This means that if it happens again, I only need to change the DNS entries rather than lots of the web pages.

Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for that, Justin.

If the address DOES change again, could you post it somewhere, for us Luddites who have to manually put it into AvPlay?

Odd that. Looks to have been the Netgear Router that had stopped accepting connection requests. I've switched it off and on and everything seems to be back to normal again.

I'll put a watch on this forum so that it will e-mail me if anyone places anything on it.

Let me know if it does it again and I'll try to fix the issue.

However, you need a million zoom magnifying glass to see the text in that TINY little box, so I'm not certain.

So you're saying that old people like yourself would like a bigger clickable link?

Why don't you use a browser like Opera where if you do a CTRL+ mousescroll the screen becomes bigger...!

In any case, I've modified the stylesheet on the http://www.avatardev.co.uk pages to make the "Play Avatar" link bigger. I love CSS! Let me know if the text for the clicking to Avatar is big enough now for you.

All working now via AvPlay. Thank you.

It's NOT the link on the AvatarDev page that was too small, it's the Telnet box that opens up after you click the link.

There's no option for "options", so you can make the font bigger; and even if you maximise the window, all you get is a tall thin box with the same tiny font.
